Fragile items will be destroyed upon shipping. No customer service part of the order (kitchen dishes) came in broken (the fedex guys must have used the box as a football). Online chat/customer service must reside on another planet based on the speed of response. Another item that they claimed was delivered is MIA. Still waiting for the remaining items, more than a week after purchase. Yeah, this might be the last time I shopped at this overpriced place

Punitive Policies Recently placed a large order, including numerous items that were backordered but still charged to my card. Eventually, I was notified some of the items were no longer available and I would be issued a refund. So, essentially I "loaned" C&B several hundred dollars interest free. If I'm going to give out interest-free loans, my friends and family will come first...not C&B or any of their other businesses.

Wonderful company! Update: After contacting C&B customer service, I'm happy to report that they really stepped-up and sorted out my order to my complete satisfaction. Well done to the C&B team. ------------------------------------------------------------- As others have suggested...C&B employs deceptive marketing practices. They're quick to take your money, then delay order fulfillment. I ordered $900 worth of cookware back in November to prepare for the Christmas holidays. What was promised for 2-Dec delivery, has now been pushed to the 15th. Looks like C&B will destroy my holiday preparations.

I ordered a bread box on February 9th I ordered a bread box on February 9th. It has been in the status of “being prepared” since this time. They give an estimated ship date and when that date comes they change to a new delivery date. I requested that the order be cancelled and I be refunded. Customer service called the warehouse and they said ok and he told me my refund would appear in 3-5 days. The next day I get an email that says the warehouse can’t cancel it and I have to wait until I get it to return it because it is being “prepared for shipment already.” I explained it has been like this for two months and I am being lied to because it is not being prepared. At this point they once again changed my delivery date today to next week. They are doing everything possible to not refund me for a product I assume I will never see. I always thought this was supposed to be a good company but I am extremely angry and feel I am getting fraudulent responses so they can keep my payment without delivering an item.

Shoddy furniture, no help from customer serviceI purchased 2 tall entertainment… I purchased 2 tall entertainment centers 10 years ago. for $1000 each. Each entertainment center had problems with cabinet doors from the start. Crate and Barrel did nothing. now one door just fell apart, came off the cabinet in pieces. After weeks, C&B informed me that because it was purchased 10 years ago, they would do nothing. Name of person making decision not provided. I was told the entertainment centers were solid wood. Not true, each is particle board. Poorly made furniture for $2000. Also concerned that since cabinet doors were just junk, that whole tall entertainment center might just fall down. Considering legal action if C&B does not return my money or actually do something to repair shoddy furniture.
